I remember reading a thread a few years ago on an American forum, one shooter reckoned to be holding over 150k of 9mm alone :o

Jesus Rox!!

I thought I was bad stocking up just a few thousand of those Noslers! :o

Has your car got any suspension left? :lol:

Joking aside ..............

Yes, I stocked up last year when the shortages started, bought a few thousand Nosler CC 168gr, a few thousand assorted lead bullets (must get more 115gr soup cans off DogyRog!), about 12Kg of various powders and around 20 thousand assorted primers.

Should keep us going for the next 3 years or so :good:

I'd say I have a years worth of shooting in stock right now. I have all my ammo for this year made and have enough left to do next years if I wanted to do it now. The on-line stores over here seem to be slow in re-stocking for some reason, I say that because the local gun stores are pretty much back up to stock with everything. I'll start re-stocking again during the summer as I do all my reloading during the long winter nights. Prices seem to have gone back to pre panic levels as well. Going to be experimenting with some N160, I'm thinking this might work in a couple of my rifles and so I'm going to be putting my experimental rounds together, shooting those usually gets me out for a couple of days a week plus the weekend if swmbo is oot with the mother.

Fine - they are only 155s, so that's equivalent to 3 average (i.e. beer quaffing, sausage eating) German adults in the back of the car.

If they were 168s it would have been 3 coke quaffing, burger & fries eating *American* adults in the back!

Think yourselves lucky! I find myself in the unfortunate situation of being almost out of bullets (SMK 2156s) and none of the same in stock in my go-to RFD (Ovenpaa), or Riflecraft, or Henry Krank. Those are the only places I have searched so far, but it's getting tiring really quickly.

I'm now contemplating other types of bulletins (Dyer or Berger maybe) and having to completely re-do the load I was working up.

I got some 2156 from HPS a couple of weeks ago, so they might be worth a try.
